Is this "implantation bleeding" and if so when should I get a BFP?

Question

What I have just experienced is a little dime sized light brown spotting in my underwear and when I wiped it was like just a little pink. However, it is not comming full on like my period normally does. It is a day before I expect my period and today I also had some period type cramps. I was wondering if this could be implantation bleeding or just my period. I dont usually start early, late if anything really. Also I took a hpt this morning and it was a BFN :( If you do think that it is implantation bleeding how many days after this experience would I be able to get a BFP? Thanks for all serious honest answers.

Answer 1

It could be implantation bleeding.  You'll have to wait to see if your period comes full on in the next few days.  It will take about 5 days after implantation to get a BFP.  Good luck!!

Answer 2

I experienced implantation at 7DPO, about a week before my period was due, and got a BFN at 11DPO. Implantation bleeding can occur anywhere between 7DPO and 12DPO, sometimes earlier and sometimes later. If you are just experiencing this now, you may need to wait a few days before the hormones build in your system enough to be detected by a HPT. I got a positive result at 14DPO, about when my period was due, but the line was so so so faint that I thought I may be seeing things. If I had tested a day before I def would have gotten a negative, I recieved really faint lines for the next couple of days and still questioned if I was making the line up in my head. Don't be disheartened, it may just be that the hormones aren't high enough to detect yet. Good luck!
